I just spent the last year building my Chems vinyl collection,mainly buying original pressings from discogs, so I was going to pass on these. But the news there are coloured, numbered editions has me thinking maybe I will double dip (I already have for Born in the Echoes). Dammit, this will be expensive!

From what I read yes, but maybe they're dodging a bullet here.I love the color on all of them especially the Further one.

Tis the season to start collecting..again. thank god i dont have all of these these in regular black vinyl.

I'm happy they are doing this. But shouldn't there be a premium collectors box set available? This obviously caters to the more dedicated fans. Isn't obvious we pretty much want them all, why only sell them individually? Throw in a T-shirt, add a poster, maybe have Tom and Ed sign the box set and put $300 price tag on it.

It's complicated. The original cover was never blocked or pulled, it still gets used (check ChemHistory (http://www.thechemicalbrothers.com/history)) but most re-releases have the dark handless cover. I'm guessing when they were caught using the Bauhaus design they were forced to pay royalties on it, and the record label opted to use the alternate cover for-repressings and digital sales to save money. Not that they were disallowed to use the original design for those initial prints, but it cost extra to use.

Speaking of how much it was stolen, most people cite the print Lonesome City Dweller (http://indie-cover-stories.tumblr.com/post/546371153/the-chemical-brothers-we-are-the-night) as the source (which does have the eyes on hands), but this is what it was actually based on:

Why are the promo vinyls 3LP? Does that make them better sound quality than the 2LPs?

Slightly, less audio per side usually means higher quality. And the WATN one is heavyweight and sounds awesome.

But the best part is a lot of them have unmixed transitions due to the many sides. PTB has an unmixed Marvo Ging / Surface To Air, WATN has a true ending to Burst Generator, Surrender vinyls (2x and 3x) have an unmixed Got Glint.

My main question, will the original etchings be included? Or because it's US release are they going to use the old Astralwerks copies with no funness included? Mind you, I think that was only on the Astralwerks singles that the etchings weren't included.

As someone that has dabbled in a similar practice, reselling limited edition vinyl by the Chemical Brothers, doesn't exactly scream FREE MONEY! The total amount of re-sellers coming out of the pre-sale of these vinyls, are probably less than 5%. That is unless, I'm totally oblivious to a revitalized collectors market. But even then, I find it hard to imagine the profit margin to be worth a re-sellers time.

That being said, I'm slightly concerned I might have underestimated the demand on these, and should have just ordered from Amoeba when they were available.

In the other case, the handless cover was never put on vinyl, so it's even more unique now.

I find it odd that they would postpone the release of all other LPs just because of one copyright issue.

If anyone didn't get a chance to get hold of a coloured copy of the following (only three out of the 7), some cheeky bloke has already posted them on old mate eBay. Not that cheap but if one is keen enough...

I preordered the U.K. versions from thesoundofvinyl and I got this e-mail today:

We are sorry to inform you the following items have been cancelled from your order because they have been deleted by our supplier and therefore are no longer available.

Cancelled Item(s):
1 x We Are The Night (Double Vinyl LP)

What's going on with WATN? Artwork? I already got the reissue with the original artwork so what's the problem?

That's strange. I'm not sure what's going on with the shop you checked.

I received confirmation that my orders were charged and are staged for shipment (including We Are The Night.)

I ordered from Bullmoose and should be getting the shipment Friday and will check the artwork.

Hi Whirly!

I just received an email from Amoeba with confirmation that my US preorder of the color vinyls have been shipped. I was mentioning the UK releases as my Chems collection is all about the UK releases (except for some nice US coloured vinyl versions of course). I have the feeling the UK release of WATN has been delayed for copyright reasons. What I don't understand is that my local record store in Amsterdam is selling a reissue of WATN (EU release) with the artwork with the hand and eyes. So does the UK release get the alternate artwork for WATN?

Yeah. This was a bit of shame. But it's still beautiful.

I took a photo of the backwards numbering on WATN too. I thought I'd found no.1 at first!

Got my two copies (WATN and PTB) today, or rather had to pick them up at customs, and yes, there are "etchings" on them. They're pretty hard to read on these transparent vinyls, though. What I was able to make out was only "Mike at the Exchange" and some numbers.

Btw, I feel like these pressings are a bit of poorer quality. My PTB copy has a rip in the record sleeve where paper is glued together (could be due to shipping) and the second sleeve isn't properly glued on one side. Also, some of the records' fringes  are rather edgy and poorly cut out and some lables on them are looking mildly battered.

Nevertheless, artwork looks amazing. Let's see what they sound like. Man, that was my most expensive 2 records purchase ever :D

I cant confirm or deny the condition of my records to compare, because mine are still all in shrink wrap waiting for a rainy day. But knowing the hassle you had to go through to get them, this is really disappointing to hear.

Oh, this somehow slipped past me. Thanks for the sentiment! The sound is pretty decent though (at least what my shitty 25 year old stereo can get out of it :D). Have you had any rainy days yet to get a listen?
